Why read it?
1 author picked My Life in 'Toons as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The autobiography of the co-founder of the legendary Hanna-Barbera studio is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the history of animation in the 20th century.
Barbera, who was as gifted as a raconteur as he was an animator, writes without flinching about many aspects of his career, and the difficulties he and business partner William Hanna faced in building and sustaining their careers.
Not boring at all but highly entertaining.
From David's list on understanding the history of animation.
